Ajax TurretCam HL 8MP 4mm Black

Ajax TurretCam HL 8MP 4mm Black

The Ajax TurretCam Black is a wired 8MP AI-powered IP security camera designed for detailed indoor and outdoor surveillance. Its 4mm fixed lens provides a focused 75°–85° viewing angle, while the 8MP sensor delivers video resolution up to 3840 × 2160 at 20 frames per second.

Additionally, the camera combines hybrid illumination, AI object recognition and TrueWDR image processing. Therefore, it can provide detailed surveillance footage across varying lighting conditions.

Hybrid Illumination

The TurretCam HL automatically switches between infrared and white light illumination according to motion detection or recognised objects.

Both illumination systems provide coverage up to 50 metres.

The camera therefore supports:

• Infrared night surveillance
• White light illumination
• Full-colour nighttime footage
• Improved object recognition in low light
• Visible illumination that may help deter intruders

As a result, users can maintain detailed monitoring throughout changing day and night conditions.

AI Object Recognition

Built-in AI enables the camera to identify:

• People
• Vehicles
• Pets

Therefore, the system can focus on relevant objects instead of responding only to general movement.

The camera also supports:

• Motion detection
• AI-powered object recognition
• Detector alarms
• Alarm verification
• Automation scenarios
• Siren activation through supported detection scenarios

TrueWDR Image Processing

The camera uses TrueWDR hardware and software image processing to improve image quality in scenes with strong differences between bright and dark areas.

Consequently, it can retain more useful visual detail around entrances, gates, windows, driveways and exterior areas where lighting conditions may vary significantly.

Ajax TurretCam Black Video Transmission

Ajax uses proprietary JetSparrow technology for fast and secure peer-to-peer video transmission.

The system provides:

• Instant live viewing
• Fast archive navigation
• Event timeline navigation
• Calendar-based archive browsing
• Search filters
• Dual video streams
• Quick video clip export
• Up to five simultaneous live-view channels

Furthermore, Ajax apps support remote configuration, motion detection zone adjustment and real-time system health monitoring.

Visual Verification Of Ajax Alarms

The TurretCam HL supports high-resolution visual verification of Ajax system alarms through video scenarios.

As a result, users can move from an alarm notification directly to relevant video footage.

In addition, the camera can synchronise with Ajax security system modes and supported automation scenarios.

Video Storage

The TurretCam HL supports both local and network-based recording options.

Video can be stored using:

• Ajax NVR
• MicroSD card installed directly in the camera

The camera supports microSD cards up to 256GB.

Importantly, the TurretCam HL can operate without an Ajax NVR when a suitable microSD card is installed.

Security Protection

Ajax integrates several technologies to protect camera access, video streams and recorded content.

These include:

• Passwordless camera authentication through mutual TLS
• TLS-encrypted video streams
• User-controlled access to video content
• Secure video export with digital signature verification
• Passcode protection
• Supported biometric authentication
• Two-factor authentication
• Session controls
• NDAA-compliant components and protocols

Therefore, the camera combines professional surveillance with multiple layers of Ajax account and communication security.

Built-In Microphone

The TurretCam HL includes a built-in digital microphone.

The microphone uses the G.711 audio codec, allowing compatible installations to capture audio together with surveillance footage where required.

Network Connectivity

The camera uses a wired Ethernet connection for video transmission and system communication.

Network specifications include:

• Ethernet: 10/100 Mbps RJ-45
• Bitrate: Up to 100 Mbps full-duplex
• Video Stream: RTSP
• ONVIF: Profile S
• Video Compression: H.265 and H.264
• JetSparrow: Proprietary Ajax video protocol

Additionally, ONVIF and RTSP support provide integration options for compatible third-party NVR and VMS platforms.

Power Supply

The TurretCam HL supports:

• DC Power: 8–14V
• PoE: IEEE 802.3at/af
• Maximum Power Consumption: Up to 8.5W

PoE allows compatible network equipment to provide both power and network connectivity through the Ethernet cable. Therefore, installers can simplify cabling in suitable installations.
